许多岛屿是生物多样性热点，但也是灭绝中心。除了与大自然的强大文化联系外，岛民的经济和更广泛的福祉的很大一部分来自这种生物多样性。因此，岛屿被认为是最容易受到物种和生境丧失影响的社会生态系统。然而，岛屿上保护区覆盖的范围和关键相关因素仍然未知。在这里，我们评估了气候，地理，栖息地多样性，文化，资源容量和人类足迹对全球2323个有人居住的岛屿的陆地和海洋保护区覆盖率的相对影响。我们发现，平均而言，22%的陆地和13%的海洋岛屿地区处于保护状态，但一半的岛屿没有保护区。气候、语言多样性、人口密度和发展与岛屿之间保护区覆盖率的差异密切相关。我们的研究表明，经济发展和人口增长可能会严重限制对岛屿的保护。岛屿对生物多样性的保护具有不成比例的重要性，但它们在保护区中的代表性可能不足。在这里，作者评估了气候，地理，栖息地多样性和社会经济条件如何解释全球有人居住的岛屿和周围海域的陆地和海洋保护区覆盖率。
Many islands are biodiversity hotspots but also extinction epicenters. In addition to strong cultural connections to nature, islanders derive a significant part of their economy and broader wellbeing from this biodiversity. Islands are thus considered as the socio-ecosystems most vulnerable to species and habitat loss. Yet, the extent and key correlates of protected area coverage on islands is still unknown. Here we assess the relative influence of climate, geography, habitat diversity, culture, resource capacity, and human footprint on terrestrial and marine protected area coverage across 2323 inhabited islands globally. We show that, on average, 22% of terrestrial and 13% of marine island areas are under protection status, but that half of all islands have no protected areas. Climate, diversity of languages, human population density and development are strongly associated with differences observed in protected area coverage among islands. Our study suggests that economic development and population growth may critically limit the amount of protection on islands. Islands have disproportionate importance for biodiversity conservation, yet they may be underrepresented in protected areas. Here the authors assess how climate, geography, habitat diversity, and socio-economic conditions explain terrestrial and marine protected area coverage on inhabited islands and in the surrounding seas globally.
